DUBLIN — Rock and roll royalty is making a triumphant return to Irish soil as Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters prepare to storm the stage in Dublin this weekend. Set to play to a sold-out crowd at the iconic 3Arena, the performance marks yet another electrifying chapter in Grohl’s deep-rooted connection with Irish fans.

For Dublin’s rock enthusiasts, the chance to see the legendary frontman perform live is more than just a concert — it’s an experience steeped in nostalgia, passion, and thunderous sound.
Grohl, known for his boundless energy and deep appreciation for live music, has long held Dublin in high regard. “There’s something raw and honest about the Irish crowd,” he once said in a past interview. “They don’t hold back. You feel their energy in your bones.” That love affair goes both ways. From his early days with Nirvana to his powerhouse performances with Foo Fighters, Grohl has consistently left Dublin audiences spellbound.
This weekend’s setlist is expected to span the full breadth of the band’s career, from early hits like Everlong and My Hero to fan favorites from their most recent album. Rumors are swirling about a few surprise acoustic moments and even potential guest appearances, though the band is keeping details tightly under wraps.
Beyond the music, Grohl’s presence in Dublin speaks to a broader legacy. He isn’t just a performer — he’s a storyteller, a survivor of rock’s wildest eras, and a symbol of authenticity in a constantly evolving industry.

Local pubs and venues around the city have already begun hosting Foo-themed events, with pre-show parties, tribute acts, and playlist nights leading up to the big night. For many, it’s not just a concert — it’s a cultural event.
